Printmaking: the activity or occupation of making pictures or designs by printing them from specially prepared plates or blocks.
- MoMA - What is a Print? An incredibly impressive and interactive website that includes a glossary of printmaking terms, demonstrations of printmaking types, and examples of various prints from the museum's collection.
This video very briefly introduces three types of prints (although there are four) that you need to know; 1) Relief, 2) Intaglio, and 3) Planographic (as in lithography). Not included here, #4) Stencil (as in silkscreen):
We will experiment with a variety of printmaking and image transfer methods so that you know what they are but also so that you will be able to choose the best methods to use for your mixed media project at the end of the year.
Here are some of the methods that we will try (time permitting):
1) Lino cut
2) Collagraph
3) Monotype and monoprint
4) Marbling
5) Tape transfer
6) Gel medium transfer
